Created and funded by the 2nd Emperor, the Duel Augmentation system seeks to enhance the capability of each duelist and reinforce their spiritual resistance by using specialized energy-filled spheres called “Augments”. These Augments gain their effects from their users and allow each duelist to imbue a variety of effects into their duels. As this system has only been made public recently, there are currently only 50 known created Augments, with each one having varying effects based on the duelist themselves. There are a few things to note about the D.A.S.:

In order to determine the compatibility of each duelist, a questionnaire is given to each duelist to fill out and turn in, as well as a few physical, mental, and spiritual tests.These are to determine your Compatibility. Your Compatibility contains either 2 letters or, in special cases, a letter and a number. Ex. L-E; N-1

Augments draw their strength from the Duelist’s spiritual essence. For this reason, some Augments won't work for certain people and have adverse effects on them. NN and TN work on all Compatibilities, however TN Augments are very taxing and require a greater trained spirit.

Only 3 Augmentations are allowed per person, and each person can only use 1 of each Category of Augment. Anymore and the spirit won’t be able to handle the power.

All duelists start off only able to use 1 of their Augments, and that 1 Augment must be the same Category as their Compatibility, or NN. [Ex. CG start with CG].

There have been accounts of forbidden copies of Augments being created. Unlike normal Augments, they can be used by anyone regardless of their compatibility and have been designed with greater power. However, unlike their normal counterparts, they draw on the user’s life force instead, which can lead to very adverse effects at times.
